\section{Evaluation and Conclusion}
\label{sec:evaluation}
The description of the assignment text is very good and helpful, though in some cases we found it to be a little short. It is okay to read about Linux device driver independently, but for instance, there could be more information about how to transfer files to the STK1000 and how fix problems with the ftp-server. Another example is that the text mentions that it is useful to apply \emph{pthreads} without giving any further information except the Wikipedia website. It would have been great if a little more information about the usage was provided, as it took us hours to find a very small error. We did not know that pthreads require the compiler option \lstinline&-static& for the linker to work properly and the Wikipedia article does not mention this. For next year's assignement text it would be beneficial to include this notion.

Another frustration was the lab equipment. Sometimes several of the lab computers could not be logged in on. This was fortunately fast resolved by Gunnar Lien when he was available, though that was not always the case. After a while there were also not enough network cables and SD-cards for the development boards anymore, so that some boards could not be used.

Anyway, the assignment was a good opportunity to learn something about how to write drivers and how to develop applications on embedded systems with an OS. We found the task of programming Pong to be both challenging though motivating and well suited for the employment of theoretical knowledge.
